Beginning Point Description
Ready.

Point numbering: the Beginning Point is always Point 1. The first call travels from Point 1 to Point 2, the second call ends at Point 3, and so forth. A closing call returns to Point 1 without creating a duplicate final point.

Supported Call Format: one call per line. Enter the bearing and distance, then add the description of the point reached after a vertical bar (|). For the final closing call, enter the bearing, the vertical bar, and the return description without a distance.

Example: N30E 100 | Large white oak
